can take solace in the fact that he is now a real "Michican Man" because he is a former coach. As I understand it, all former coaches - and assistant coaches - are Michigan Men. Maybe someday he can be re-hired because he now has the credentials that he didn't have when he was the actual coach.

this post and this discussion ever ended up on this blog. When Palen derangement syndrome is allowed to get in to this blog, it's hit a new low. It call into question the judgement of the people running this blog. That was a bad choice, guys.

with a little luck, we'll be able to consistently produce 9 - 3 teams. Undefeated? Doubt it. But 9 -3 is achievable and 10 - 2 in a good year. That's pretty good, right? We still have a huge stadium and cool helmets, but it's gonna be a long time before anyone is afraid to walk into Michigan Stadium to play us.

This team is getting better, even throught the losses. They're getting tighter (I mean, more together) and more determined. These guys aren't gonna stop. RR, the coaches, and especially the players are building something good. These guys are becoming a force. Slowly but surely.

When I first heard about the Alabama game, the first thing I thought was that RR is here through 2012. No way we're changing coaches. And that means he's here to stay - which is fine with me. By 2012, we'll be a match for Alabama.

There's a lot of people who think that if someone has a Southern/rural/country/whatever accent, then they're not too bright. You find this a lot at Northern academic institutions, especially high-ranking academic institutions.

He was definitely commenting on the "simplicity" of the Michigan offense. As in, "anyone can do it". Rather immature. MSU's inferiority complex certainly runs deep. It has even permeated their coaching staff.
